midi controller diy project : bitstream

[abducted]

hello !

I'm from france, and a long time ago, I found on waveidea.com

all the things needed to build a midi controller : the bitstream.

Here is a link :

Now of course they sell the bitstream pro which is a ready made

controller but it is expensive. I'd like to build the old diy bitstream.

What do you think ? Would it be expensive ? I think the microchip

is quite expensive, and I don't know how to program it...

Thanks for your time !

Hi.

Why don't you go to http:///www.ucapps.de and have a look at MIDIbox64?

The Bitstream uses a cheaper pic than MIDIbox, but it's otherwise harder to DIY - You would have to make your own doublesided pcb for it AND the pcb calls for certain type ALPS potentiometer which are rather expensive.

And midibox has more configuration options ect.
